All right, people. Let's start from the beginning, one last time. A thread about a direction I've been meaning to shift for a few years now, but which - like a lot of things I've wanted to change in my life - had to wait until I was coming at it from the right angle and for the right reasons. 1/

Dammit. So much for a fresh start. Does anyone know if appealing these works? It looks like it's purely for trying to re-follow so many people.

I've gone through it a few times* and it's clear the two design goals were "comply with the law" and "placate conservatives." *(I've only done "Active Shooter" more times, because this is America and this company has had at least two shooter incidents since I started... one the next town over!)

My company's inclusivity training is so toothless that, despite giving examples it calls "potentially insensitive" (one is straight up racist and another is transphobic), it refuses to explicitly state what statement was wrong, why it was wrong, and why it matters to us all that it's not tolerated.

I'm not seeing stuff about contacting payment processors on my timeline. If we stop now they will take the lesson that they can do all the censorship they want and within a month people will just calm down and accept it. We have to keep going. Make them backtrack!

Anti-trans bigots get brain worms when told that trans women attracted to women are also attracted to trans women, because it completely destroys their bioessentialist argument. So, if "trans women are inferior men" and "trans women date trans women," then transbians must desire other inferior men.

Noodling on politics. Consider yourselves warned. I've been thinking about the sudden lurch towards throwing trans rights under the bus by dem presidential hopefuls and the total non-response by Congressional dems to defend us. And I think it's this. (1/?) www.vox.com/politics/397...

I honestly think the majority of cis people are upset by trans existence, especially nonbinary existence, because as children we were all told there were things we weren't allowed to do or be or feel or say because we were a girl, or because we were a boy. I honestly think that's unhealed trauma. 🧵

We asked people to give a damn about others and treat them as equally complicated and important beings instead of NPCs that exist to pad out the story of your life, and quite a few people who have their self-worth tied to a genuine belief in the latter openly revolted at the concept.

The feeling i have is that for as important as female friendship is I, and I shall say this rather bluntly, care more about telling the little lesbian out there who doesnt know what she is that she isnt a monster. That there's a community waiting for her. That she'll have a rich life full of love.

It's the anecdote of the guy who says something incredibly risque to a woman on the street, gets slapped hard, and is asked "why the hell do you do that?", to which he grins and replies "sometimes they don't slap." That's the exact "I don't care what happens to others" vibe I'll oppose all my life.

decades of ableist cyberpunk warning us that prosthetics that assist mobility and perception would drive people to cyberpsychosis but instead it's just people with smartphones going insane because they were affirmed by robot texts a little too much into fully detaching from reality

The generals telling the collective military to remember their oaths in the days leading up to 1/6 was incredibly reassuring, especially when they did so. It has been my primary point of concern that they've done all they can to eradicate the one thing truly standing in the way of their total rule.

I'm a bit rusty, but here's where I went with it before I started thinking about the thermostat.

Leiracal Muse @leiracalmuse.bsky.social · 11/08/2025
The temp of the inside is only relevant if it can maintain it (and thus shut down for a bit and stop adding heat to the room via electrical usage). If I'm modelling this right, that only lasts for a few hours before it cannot achieve 4C at all and runs continuously trying to get there.

Leiracal Muse @leiracalmuse.bsky.social · 11/08/2025
I don't have an opportunity to sit down and actually crunch the math right now, but under the simplest model possible (i.e. not caring how the appliance or room functions differently at thousands of degrees and higher), you're simply turning electrical kWh to thermal energy in the total room volume.

It was originally *heavily* inspired by the first three seasons of RWBY, but it became its own thing over time as I leaned more into the generational campaign setting and figured out what I wanted to do with concepts like the Rangers (built up from the cowpunk setting) and ongoing political strife.

Tech flourished because magic is either tied to people's life-force or a consumable, so there's no permanent magic items. The powers that be try to keep people complacent enough that much of the economy can be funneled into the wall defense, since Void creatures seek strong emotions.

Leiracal Muse @leiracalmuse.bsky.social · 10/08/2025
You tickled my memory with the "points of light" premise, as its foundations are actually a fantasy cyberpunk "future" of a fantasy cowpunk setting I'd written at 4e's advent. Most of humanity is leading near-future lives walled in Bastions because the world's swarmed with Void creatures.

Pardon me as I quietly dig out my custom d20 campaign from ten years ago...
Welcome to the World of Aurora, a campaign setting with a decidedly different tone than the classic tales of wizards and warriors. There are still mighty mages and warriors preserving civilization from beasts and those who would watch the world burn, make no mistake; it's just that those battles may involve bursts of machine gun fire from the back of a motorcycle as the heroes chase down a hijacked mechanized land-walker tank on a busy freeway, calling ahead for backup on their smartphones as they dodge thrown cars and summon angels to help.

If the above description interested you, then welcome! You're in for quite a ride.

The defense of Rowling accidentally reveals that trans women are used as scapegoats for the violence of cis men. And like, I haven't read Whipping Girl, but I think a lot of us have had the realization that trannies are the sin-eaters of contemporary society.

I'd avoided tight shirts my entire life because they made me perceive my body. It's been a hell of a thing recalibrating that, and it wouldn't have been possible without transition, because I hadn't been able to parse that it felt like something was missing. Now it's there, and it feels great.

The argument has always been "this is too valuable a technology to follow the law or any safeguards", and this is not anywhere near the first time it's been argued for emerging tech; it just happens to be the time that involves the largest intellectual property misappropriation in world history.

Leslie Nielsen was a serious actor originally; that's why he was cast for his role in Airplane. When they picked Neeson, who has also had a serious career while demonstrating he has great comedic chops, I figured it'd turn out just fine because they understood the roots of it all.
